Great news this month! TWO small grants were awarded! Pediatric TBI from repetitive head rotation was funded by the generous support of the Primary Children’s Medical Center Foundation.Quantification of collagen dissolution in the immature eye from plasmin protealase was funded by the generous support of the University of Utah Research Foundation. Both grants will provide funding for preliminary data...
